Koalas can live up to 18 years if they live in secure, protective captivity where the habitat emulates their native environment. Here, they are free from predation by domestic dogs; there is no risk of them being hit by a car; and little chance of them being infected by a disease such as chlamydia. These three things are the leading causes of koala deaths.
